Overall Experience

Couldn't be happier with this nursery! We were so nervous to send our first child to nursery but she has settled in so well even though she only goes once a week. She's learnt to play with friends, new words and nursery rhymes and is always trying new food. Amazing staff always doing their best!

Review from Sophie K (Mother of Child) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with this Billy Mill Nurser been nothing short of fantastic. From the very beginning, my 15 month old has settled in amazingly well, she genuinely runs in every day with excitement, which says everything about how happy and comfortable she feels there.

The flexibility they offer has been a huge benefit for our family, especially with term time hours that suit our routine perfectly. The staff truly know my daughter as an individual, they understand her needs, personality, and routines so well, which gives me real peace of mind.

She has built such lovely relationships with the team, and it's clear how much care, attention, and support she receives daily. They go above and beyond to ensure she is nurtured, encouraged, and supported in every aspect of her development.

I'm especially grateful for how well they manage her allergies, they are incredibly attentive, careful, and proactive, which makes a big difference as a parent.

I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly

My daughter has been going to this nursery for nearly 2 years now and she's absolutely thrived! The staff are amazing and so helpful. I'm a single mum and if I ever need advice or just a chat I know I can always go to them. I was very hesitant at first putting my daughter into nursery but I've never regretted it since she started here, they go above and beyond. I can't thank them enough!

Overall Experience
Both my boys go to this nursery and the amount of effort all the staff put in is amazing. For Christmas there were parties and photoshoots and my eldest who is in the preschool room had days out including panto. They also did a little Christmas performance for the parents.

My youngest has settled in so well in the last 6 months and I really feel like they've made a great connection with him.

Review from Megan M (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the care our 10-month-old receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, which has made such a difference in helping our child feel safe, settled, and happy. They take the time to understand each child's individual needs and always communicate clearly and reassuringly with us as parents. It's obvious how much pride they take in their work, and it's comforting to know our baby is being looked after by such a dedicated and nurturing team. We feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful nursery.

Overall Experience

We highly recommend Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill. Our little boy has been going since he had just turned one. We viewed so many nurseries but chose Billy Mill as the staff were so welcoming and the setting felt homely and warm. Since being there our little boy has flourished and has become so sociable which is lovely. The staff have always been so kind and caring and offer a fantastic range of activities and experiences for the children. They work so hard and it definitely shows. My little boy is always so excited to go into nursery to see his friends and the staff which as a mammy makes me confident they are doing a really good job at looking after him.

Couldn't reccomend this nursery enough. All the staff are amazing, my daughter is usually shy to start off with but has an amazing day everytime at nursery. Puts me at ease as a parent knowing she's well looked after and having a fun filled day. Updates on the app throughout the day to be kept update with pictures. I've got no faults and appreciate everything they do for my child.

Overall Experience

We can't thank the staff enough for how much they've helped our childs development and confidence. Our Sons keyworker is excellent and the bond they have is demonstrated by how much he talks about her at home, but he also does with all of the girls in the team and it shows how happy and content he is with them all. Staff all respond to any concerns quickly and effectively, and we really appreciate the genuine care and affection that is shown. The variation in activities and food is consistently excellent.

My daughter has been at Billy Mill for just over 2 years and has loved her time there! The staff are kind, caring and genuinely so invested in the children. The nursery has a lovely homely feel, they encourage lots of outdoor play, and are always doing a different and fun activity with the kids. I really cherish that they create an environment where I feel comfortable leaving my little girl.

Review from Charlotte B (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What a marvellous setting. Our little girl has been attending for nearly two years now, and she skips through the door every single day. The staff have been incredible - every member of the team knows who our daughter is and takes great care to greet her and make her feel welcome, even when they are not her primary key worker.
She has been in three of the four rooms, and they have all been fantastic: catering to her needs, encouraging her every day, and filling her time with fun and engaging activities. It is a pleasure to pick her up and see her smiling face, happily playing with the other children.

I couldn't recommend this setting strongly enough - it is truly outstanding.

My little boy has been coming here since he was 4 months and honestly I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! He has been thriving, developing a great connection with the staff and I always feel safe and comfortable when he is there. I already have signed up my next child here and always tell people to come here.
